“The Ba***ds of Bollywood” is an upcoming Netflix series created and directed by Aryan Khan, starring Sahher Bambba and Lakshya. The series has already generated buzz due to its impressive lineup of celebrity cameos, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh.
Most importantly, it marks the directorial debut of Aryan Khan, leading to a lot of anticipation among the Bollywood buffs.
Recently, at the WAVES Summit 2025, Ted Sarandos, CEO of Netflix, engaged in a discussion with Saif Ali Khan regarding The Ba***ds of Bollywood.” The latter spoke in detail about Aryan Khan’s directorial debut and revealed that he had already seen a glimpse of the project.
Saif went on to call it “fantastic” and also shared that his children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, will be making brief appearances in the show.
The upcoming drama is about an ambitious outsider and his friends who try to enter the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. The series tries to blend self-aware humour with a high-stakes narrative. It also promises a host of blockbuster thrills, unforgettable cameos, and an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema.
Aryan Khan, the son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has long been in the public eye, not just because of his lineage but also due to the intense scrutiny surrounding his personal life.
In 2021, he made headlines after being arrested in a high-profile drug-related case, which drew massive media attention and sparked nationwide debates. Although Aryan was cleared of all charges later, the controversy left a lasting impression on the public.
It also fueled discussions about celebrity privilege, media trials, and the pressure of growing up under the spotlight.
Despite the setbacks, Aryan Khan has steadily rebuilt his image, focusing on his passion for storytelling and filmmaking. Now, it all depends on the audience- whether they give the same love to Aryan like his father SRK, or dismiss the young director’s debut.
